I faced off against Zyvax Vuul for the first time. I still think the card is trash. You routinely see Zyvax Vuul and Ifrit Rising among the least expensive Legends from Chaos Legion.
The recharge ability has been largely poo pooed. You also see this ability on the least expensive epic cards. Often these monsters get killed off before they can get their first shot off. The ability is much better paired with magic than it is with melee or ranged attacks because those at least get under the opponent's armor. I've seen some great success with Ifrit Rising. You can check out an example of that here

If you only get to apply a small fraction of 6 magic damage to a monster then it at least finishes off the monster. With Zyvax Vuul it only finishes off the armor.
Here's the match that I just had, it was pretty funny and I destroyed my opponent.

We were both expecting to face off against General Sloan with these available splinters and a mana cap this high. I have to give credit to my opponent for anticipating that.
Zyvax did get one shot off and survive 1 shot from Chaos Dragon, it was enough to knock off Shieldbearer's shield temporarily.
What are your thoughts on Zyvax Vuul? Have any of you seen success with Zyvax?
